Application filed June 29 This invention relates to a holder for a tube containing paste, the general object of the invention being to provlde a casing containing a pair of jaw members between which the tube is placed, with means for moving one jaw member so as to eject apart ofthe contents of the tube therefrom.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combine tion and arrangement of'the several parts, to be hereinafterfully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifi cally ointed out in theappended claim.

In escribing the invention in detail, refer- ,ence will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in wh1ch V I a Figure 1 is a side view of the device. Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Figure 3 is a section on line 3-7-3 of Fig.- ure2. Figure 4: is, a perspective view showing the' device reversed to place the dischargeat the t0 v 1 V in these views, thenumeral- 1 indicates a plate 'which is adapted to be. fastened to a wall or otherusupporg the plate having the grooves. 2 in its side edges; numeral 3 indicates alcasin which'isforrned with the flanges 4'at one si" e thereof whicharejadapted to engag'ethe ooves so that thevcasil'lgf" 'can'be slidover t e" plate, the closed upper end ofthe cas'ingacting as astop for limiting" the downwardmovementthereofon the, plate. A movablel-jawi6 isplaced in-the casingand is formedjiwith an opening 8, the outer part of which is. enlarged and threaded to'receive a bushing 9 and a nut 10' is placed in the open- 40 ing. and has a. pair; of trunnions. 11, thereonwhichare rotatably' held in bearing openings formed in the, walls of the opening 8 by the bushing 9. The nut tapers'toward each end a: from its center so that'it' has'rocking movement in the opening .8. The nutis engaged by the; threaded shaft "12 carried by one side of the casing the'outer endof the. shaft hav-- ing' a knurled disk '13 thereon whereby it can t be turned. A'jaw 14; is also located. in the" 6.0 casing and the jaws have-beveled adjacent 59;? e 157 4.ne V a faces-so thata tube 15 can be'placed in the casmgbetween the two jaws. Thelower end of; the casing has an opening therein for receiving the threaded" part 1 of an adapter lfi which has a entrall arranged holel? therein, a part of which is threaded to receive the, threaded neck of the tube.. A nipple 18" is formed on the adapter'16 and receives the material passing through itheopening 17. number of these adapters can be provided so I that the device can be used with different sizes of tubes.

i From the foregoing it will be seen that the tube can be placed in the device by removing I the member 16 from the casing and passing:

the tube through the opening left thereby, the tube fitting in the space betweenthe jaws. i Thenby turning the shaft 12 to impart move 1 ment to thenut, the jaw 6 is moved toward the jaw'14 sothatpr'essure is appliedto the 1' tube and thus a .part of its contents will be e ]ected.through the nipple 18. The format tion of the ,iaws-permits the upper parts of the'jawstolir'st engage the up r end of the tube to press the material there 0m and when l f thematerialfhas been pressed from said up-- T per end of the tube;the jaw 6 will engagea lower portion of the tube to press the material therefrom and finally the lower part of the t jawj'vill engage the lower part of the tubeso' l0 th'at"finally all the material or paste is pressed frorn the tube. Of course,:a capo! stopper is provided for closing'ithe end of the nipple or= Qof the goose-neck when the device is not in use} withithi'sjdeviceyitl is simply necessary; to -"placeithebrush'underthe nipple and if it is H des'iredto reversethedevice to place the nip plea-uppermost;as iniFigure 4, the gooseneck 19' can be placed over the nipple so that the, a paste wilhbe ejected. in a downward directidm g 1 It is thoughtfromwtheforegoing description that the advantagesland novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

Itis to be understood that changes may be I made in the construction and in the combination'and arrangement-of the'several parts, provided that such changes fallwithin the scope of the appended claimr Jthe tu What I claim is:-

A device of the class described com rising a casin a pair of jaws arranged in t e casing an having their adjacent faces ta ring to form a wedge shaped space between t em to receive a paste tube, one jaw member having a centrally arranged transverse opening 7 therein, a nut ta ring from its center to eac end for fitting 1n the opening, trunnions on the nut, bearing means in the walls of the opening for receiving the trunnions, said nut having a threaded socket therein, a screw shaft rotatably arranged in one side ofthe casing and havin a t readed part enga mg the socket, a ban le on the outer end 0 the shaft and dischar e means at one endof the,

casin through w ich the paste forced from by the jaws will ass.

,In testimon whereof aflix m si ature.
